A coil carrier (1) comprising of an U shaped plastic profile has material thickness which fulfills dielectric strength requirements between the primary (2)and secondary winding. The outside applied primary ribbon turns (2) are bridging the gap of the U coil carrier. The inside fixed wound ferrite rod (3) is located close to the bottom of the U profile. The internal volumes at the closed side of the coil carrier (5) are already filled with glue. The remaining volume inside the ignition transformer can later easily been filled with encapsulating material through shown remaining penetration interstices between the primary turns (4) and two openings at the beginning and the end of the long rod ignition transformer (T) when finally being potted together with the ignition circuitry (C) in the housing (H) in one common process step.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a long rod shaped ignition transformer integrated in an igniter unit including: (a) a long shaped primary coil former with an evenly arranged primary spiral winding, and (b) a secondary spiral coil wound along a ferrite rod imbedded within the primary coil former, and (c) the primary coil former for receiving insulating fluid material, and (d) the primary spiral winding having interstices between each turn as penetration channels, and (e) the primary coil former providing minimum distance between the primary winding and secondary coil turns to provide minimum dielectric strength of applied insulation materials, and (f) one step filling of the ignition transformer and an igniter circuit configuration with insulating potting material via the penetration channels which fills a space between the primary spiral winding and the secondary spiral coil. 2. Method in accordance to claim 1, wherein the unit formed by the ferrite rod and the secondary coil is fixed in the primary coil former before potting. 3. Method in accordance to claim 2, wherein the primary spiral winding is wound spiral shaped around the primary coil former as a wire or a ribbon. 4. Method in accordance to claim 3, wherein the primary coil former comprises a U profile coil former wherein the interstices result from the distance between primary spiral winding turns of the primary winding across an open part of the U profile. 5. A method of manufacturing a long rod shaped ignition transformer integrated in an igniter unit comprising the steps of: providing a hollow elongate shaped primary coil carrier having a gap along a length thereof with a primary winding spirally wrapped about an outer face of the primary coil carrier along the length thereof, the primary winding having open spaces between turns that comprise interstices, the interstices across opening of said primary coil carrier defining a plurality of penetration channels; embedding a ferrite rod having a secondary coil spirally wound thereabout within the primary coil carrier, the primary coil carrier being sized to provide a minimum distance between the primary winding and the secondary coil to provide a minimum dielectric strength of applied insulation materials; and in one step, filling the ignition transformer and an igniter circuit configuration with insulating potting material through the penetration channels. 6. The method in accordance with claim 5, wherein the ferrite rod and the secondary coil form a unit that is fixed in the primary coil carrier before the step of filling the ignition transformer with insulating potting material. 7. The method in accordance with claim 5, wherein the primary winding comprises a spirally wound wire or ribbon. 8. The method in accordance with claim 6, including providing the hollow elongate shaped primary coil as a U profile coil carrier having the opening extending along the entire length thereof, and wherein the ends of the U profile coil carrier are open.
